Muddy water is best cleared by leaving it alone.

Those who grasp at things as truly existent are like someone trying to catch the reflection of the moon in water.

Our practice cannot be perfect, but without being discouraged by this, we should continue it. This is the secret of practice.

Know the rules well, so you can break them effectively.

The essence of mind is empty like space; yet it contains all things, like a mirror.

The goal is not to be better than the other man, but your previous self.

Nothing ever goes away until it has taught us what we need to know.

Don't expect or desire anything. Just keep noting whatever arises in the present moment.

The practice is not about achieving special states but about seeing ordinary experience with extraordinary clarity.

The more we care for the happiness of others, the greater our own sense of well-being becomes.

My father is the intrinsic awareness, Samantabhadra. My mother is the ultimate sphere of reality, Samantabhadri. I belong to the caste of non-duality of these two.

The moment you note a thought, it disappears. The noting mind keeps the hindrances away.

Do everything with a mind that lets go. Don't accept praise or gain or anything else. If you let go a little, you will have a little peace; if you let go a lot, you will have a lot of peace.

True happiness is not about getting rid of all our problems, but about changing our relationship to them.

Meditation is the ultimate mobile device; you can use it anywhere, anytime, unobtrusively.

The Buddha's teaching is not a philosophy or a religion; it is a method of practice.

Choose to be optimistic, it feels better.

Love is the wish that others be happy, and compassion is the wish that they be free from suffering.

Suffering comes from our resistance to what is. Peace comes from our acceptance of what is.

Wisdom says we are nothing. Love says we are everything. Between these two our life flows.

Knowledge must be stabilized by meditation. Without meditation, knowledge is like a child in battle.

The root of all mind is your own present pure awareness. Rest in that essence without seeking elsewhere.

In meditation, we are continuously discovering who and what we are.

Treat every moment as your last. It is not preparation for something else.

The deepest form of happiness comes from discovering the natural peace of our own awareness.

Every experience is an opportunity to practice awareness.

Meditation is not about stopping thoughts, but recognizing that we are not our thoughts.

Real happiness lies within. It cannot be found in external objects or achievements.

The mind of the beginner is empty, free of the habits of the expert, ready to accept, to doubt, and open to all the possibilities.

Mindfulness is being aware of what is happening right now, without wishing it were different.

Without accepting the fact that everything changes, we cannot find perfect composure.

Hasten slowly and you will soon arrive.

We deal with our mind from morning until evening, and it can be our best friend or our worst enemy.
